: How about a Dyson Baidarka. The design calls for aluminum tubing and recycled
: stop signs, so I think PVC pipes and sign stock or plywood would work. Use
: recycled painters tarps for the skin. Plans for the double are in the back
: of his book. Also baidarkas are faster than greenland (putz) style.

Steel eletrical conduit would make good frames for one of these. I would think it would be easier to find than used PVC pipe (any commercial remodeling job generates lots, and would be easier to bend, using a rented pipe bender
